2011 mini non-s with plans for bc coilovers

 

I settled on which wheels (asa ar1), but unsure if 17x7 et42 or 16x7 et38 would be better for coilovers to get LOW!

If 17x7 I'll probably go with 205/45r17 .
If 16x7....I'm unsure on tire size.

This is not a daily driver

Anyone?

 

Either should work fine when low.

 

Thank you. Is 1 setup more likely to need spacers or do you think they will both be ok without?

 

Depends on how low your going, going too low will require some camber adjustment. Nice choice on the wheels I have the 17x7 ar1s et 38

 

Pics of yours?

 

Haven't mounted them yet sadly, been sitting in my shed for months, they might not make it on until spring. Really disappointing,summer got away from me this year.

 

Nice. Too bad you haven't mounted them on yet

 

tires are shot otherwise they would be on, post pics up when you get yours.
